Introduction - What is it like being a Cosplayer?

It's fun. Making people smile when they see me, when I pose with them and when I put reality to their expectations.

What are your next goals?

I want to do a more extravagant character but I am concerned with with the body paint issues. I want to do an Injustice version of Solomon Grundy.

What does Cosplay mean to you?

It means celebrating your love of your niche, that little part of the world you love.

Who have been your biggest influences/role models/mentors?

As a very large man I don't have a real mentor or roll model. I saw people (and have for years) dressing up and thought that I could do that (as physically fit the role of the big guys in the comics).

Do you have any advice or suggestions for upcoming Cosplayers?

Do what you want to do, don't listen to the "haters" and have fun.

What is the most negative experience you've dealt with while cosplaying, and how did you handle it?

Me personally? None really. I have heard things but never witnessed anything myself.

Any final remarks or shout-outs?
